What was your concern with this review?

The Veloped works great as a carrying aid when shopping and you have heavy groceries to bring home. In the store you don't need a shopping trolley; you just grab a basket and place it on the seat for the groceries, pay in the register and it carries it all home. There, the Veloped is a very handy and a great aid. However, we don't think it's fully functional as a walker for an elderly person.

It can feel wobbly since it doesn't have a wheel in each ""corner"", and it gets heavy when pushing uphill. Furthermore, we've tested the off-road driving, with all the wheels on the ground. Then turning gets difficult, and driving gets heavy for one who doesn't have so much own force to steer. The final verdict is that tie Veloped is best suited for someone who still has some balance and strength left.

All in all an excellent carrying aid for me who is in my 50's and has back issues and difficulties with heavy carrying, but not of any interest for my 95-year-old mother, who for the above-mentioned reasons prefers her regular walker.

    Bought this after I had a bad fall and lost my confidence. With this Walker, I feel safe and secure from losing my balance. I am 5 ft tall, so the 12er size S is ideal for me. Best decision I ever made, was to purchase this. The seat is great if you …

  • The Veloped is a great invention...…

    The Veloped is a great invention and fills the gap that other conventional rollators cannot. The large smooth-running wheels and the twin wheel in the front make the ride wonderfully easy and provide support and, most importantly, allow you to walk m…

    My Trionic 14 walker has been a revelation in terms of mobility. I has enabled me to get out and about and is easily transportable in the car. From being able to cover a few hundred yards (slowly) I am now regularly walking around the park and thorou…

  • I'll just tell you about my experiences :))…

    Everything positive has already been said in earlier reviews, so I'll concentrate on my experiences here on Coastal Lancashire, with its paths through sand dunes and pine forests.
